i think nancy pelosi has proven she can pass things. she's proven to be a good soldier. boehner has a harder time coraling the tea party. he's taken steps to show who is boss. he punished four members withdrawaling their favorite assignments. he's got the leadership lined up with him. he looked like a very weak speaker ten days ago. he's looking stronger now. i think republicans understand that the deal they get after the first of the year is a worst deal than they get before the end of the year because the next congress is more favorable to democrats. i think he's in a better position to make the sale this time. >> one thing we have been watching is the two-step process. tom cole of oklahoma has taken a lot of heat from his own party suggesting to get the tax cuts out of the way for the tax cuts. here is what he's having to say about that. >> none of us want to raise the rates on anybody. but the reality is the rates on everybody go up at the end of the month. since we agree with the democrats, 98% of the american people and 80% of the bush tax cuts, get it off the tabl

we have new comments from nancy pelosi on the fiscal cliff today. let's listen to that. >> would you accept a deal that does not include tax rate increases for the wealthy. we have seen a possible compromise that would leave rates the same but cap deductions for top earners? >> no. the president made it clear there are not enough -- what you described is a formula and a blueprint for hampering our future. >> what do you think? does this mean a deal will not get done? >> i think there is desire on both sides to get a deal done. that doesn't mean we will see one. both sides are taken the election to mean that the american people want action. the president has taken it to mean the american people endorsed his so-called balanced approach to balancing the budget. and we saw spirited koopg with the leaders coming out after the meetening a now they mr. get down to the details where to make cuts and revenue increases and can do you do it by just closing loopholes, is that enough or do you have to talk about tax rates in particular think tax rating for the w

melissa harris-perry interviewed nancy pelosi and she explained her personal connection to those who need health care. >> i'mç a mom. i'm a woman. i'm also a grandmother and also a senior citizen. so in every category of life there are personal stories as to why patient protections that are in this bill make a difference in the lives of those families. >> msnbc host melissa harris-perry joins us right now. melissa, thanks for staying with us. >> of course. >> 6-3, did she expect roberts to go the way she did? >> i think she would have expected roberts to go there with kennedy so that -- i mean, i think the sense was that roberts wants to preserve the sense that this court is not a partisan court, that this court is actually making decisions based on the law, based on what has already stood. as she said in her interview with me, they thought about a supreme court challenge before they actually drafted this. they understood there was a taxing power and maybe even a commerce clause power. i don't think she expected him to be a 5-4 decision maker. >> when we look at the conversation th
